I read on that page that Radeon 5000+ are indeed supported under FBSD 9.3 (w/ properly updated X11/xf86) .... I have seen higher Radeon numbers separated out on other websites(http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/), so for clarity, I am asking if my jaguar onboard GPU is now supported. Relevant xorg.conf info below: Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "ShadowFB" # [] #Option "DefaultRefresh" # [] #Option "ModeSetClearScreen" # [] Identifier "Card0" Driver "vesa" VendorName "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]" BoardName "Kabini [Radeon HD 8280 / R3 Series]" BusID "PCI:0:1:0" EndSection I am obviously using the basic vesa driver, as that was required to get any gfx working (no problema, I knew that when I built the system, very new hardware, probably not fully supported yet). Performance is pretty bad w/ OpenGL screen savers, for example, w/ refreshes measured in fpm (no typo), not fps. What driver should I be using to get full(er?) gfx performance now ?
